Cardiovascular disease and brain health: Focus on white matter hyperintensities
Publication date: June 2018Source: IJC Heart & Vasculature, Volume 19Author(s): Francesco Moroni, Enrico Ammirati, Maria A. Rocca, Massimo Filippi, Marco Magnoni, Paolo G. CamiciAbstractDiseases affecting the brain contribute to a substantial proportion of morbidity and mortality in the general population. Conditions such as stroke, dementia and cognitive impairment have a prominent impact on global public health. Despite the heterogeneous clinical manifestations of these conditions and their diverse prognostic implications, current evidence supports a role for cardiovascular disease as a common pathophysiological ground. ...

Predictive Value of A2HD Scoring for Transient Symptoms Associated with Infarction.
CONCLUSIONS Risk of TSI seems to be highly predictable. The A2HD score can be used in clinical practice to identify high-risk cerebral infarction patients with TIA who need emergency diagnosis and treatment. PMID: 30601800 [PubMed - in process]

Cerebral thromboembolic risk in atrial fibrillation ablation: a direct comparison of vitamin K antagonists versus non-vitamin K-dependent oral anticoagulants
ConclusionsIn patients undergoing AF ablation, we identified the use of NOAC and intraprocedural cardioversion as independent risk factors for the occurrence of periprocedural cerebral embolic lesions.

Intracerebral haemorrhage, microbleeds and antithrombotic drugs.
Authors: Casolla B, Cordonnier C Abstract Antithrombotic therapy is a cornerstone for secondary prevention of ischaemic events, cerebral and extra-cerebral. A number of clinical questions remain unanswered concerning the impact of antithrombotic drugs on the risk of first-ever and recurrent macro or micro cerebral haemorrhages, raising the clinical dilemma on the risk/benefit balance of giving antiplatelets and anticoagulants in patients with potential high risk of brain bleeds. High field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) blood-weighted sequences, including susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), have expanded the s...

Association of the CHA2D(S2)-VASc Score and Its Components With Overt and Silent Ischemic Brain Lesions in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusions: A higher CHA2D-VASc score was associated with a higher risk of both overt and silent ischemic brain lesions.Clinical Trial Registration:www.ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT02105844.

Basilar artery occlusion presenting as sudden bilateral deafness: a case report
ConclusionsWhen hearing loss is due to vertebrobasilar occlusive disease, the prognosis is very poor. We suggest that vertebrobasilar stroke be suspected in patients with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss who present with risk factors for stroke such as atrial fibrillation and other neurologic signs.

Management and outcomes of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in young adults
CONCLUSIONS: In young adults with HCM, MACE are common in the short term, especially in obstructive HCM and women, mostly arrhythmic in origin. Prophylactic ICD implantation is frequent and does not strictly follow the guidelines, while the use of European/USA guidelines is helpful but imperfect in identifying SCD risk.PMID:33744178 | DOI:10.1016/j.acvd.2020.12.006
